Disney

We made it back safe and sound from Disney World the other day. The trip was simply magical from start to finish. We were there a week and enjoyed each park twice with the exception of Epcot, which we went to once. My mom joined us which allowed us to cover a great deal more ground and made it so the big girls could do more 'stuff'. Among our favorites were the Expedition Everest ride and safari at Animal Kingdom, the Rock and Roll Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios, Big Thunder Mountain at the Magic Kingdom and Soarin at Epcot. We enjoyed the food greatly, we had a pass for two meal and two snacks per day. While it was counter service, we had read all the reviews of the best places to eat and were not disappointed. The food at Epcot was especially fun, lots of German candy and French desserts. We enjoyed Wolfgang Puck Express so much that we returned a second time, and used our last few leftover meals to bring some pizzas on the road as we left. We had purchased the Unofficial Guide a few months in advance, and it paid of greatly. We were able to beat the crowds and avoid lines in many cases, even as the parks were filled near capacity. We got to the point where we mastered the art of getting fast-passes for use later and were able to repeat many of our favorite rides two and three times.

We took over a thousand pictures (go figure) and I wanted to get a few of them uploaded and posted here while I still had some tim off. Enjoy!
